When Turner went down with an injury during a spring training game, fans were disappointed that the all-star third baseman would miss the beginning of the season. Add to that the season-ending injury to Corey Seager and the debacle that was the beginning of the season and fans were chomping at the bit to see Turner return to the club.
He finally did return May 15th against the Marlins and though he had a nice series against a bad Marlins squad, he did not look the same. Something was just missing, he was hitting the ball hard but some pitches that JT would’ve feasted on in 2017 were just routine fly outs in 2018.
